Chapter 7: Nourishing the body and concentrating the essence without losing the body, polishing the true nature of life

The full moon hangs in the sky, and it is dusk.

The breeze is blowing, and the place is quiet, secluded and deep.

After meditating for a while, Lu Chen stood up and went to Qingming Cliff.

When we arrived at Qingming Cliff, there were already several figures gathered here, most of them were brothers from the Hui and Zhen generations.

Zhenan is here too.

Guan Zhen'an was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and Lu Chen did not go to disturb him from practicing his skills. Instead, he found an open space to sit cross-legged and lit a stick of meditation incense in front of him.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and its silvery light hangs down like a gauze.

Lu Chen recited the mantra silently, then entered into deep meditation, circulating the essence in his body.

Strands of silver-white beams of light were absorbed into its body as it inhaled and exhaled.

The silvery moonlight energy flows down through the mouth and tongue and directly reaches the lower dantian.

Gradually, the abundant essence in the body was covered with a layer of silver frost.

However, Lu Chen did not refine the Taiyin Qi, but let it settle down.

If he were to refine it now, he could only obtain Taiyin magic power, which was not the same as the sun, moon, yin and yang magic power of the Tao he practiced.

He continued to absorb the Taiyin Qi and sink it into the lower Dantian in this way, and only stopped when he felt the Dantian three points below the navel begin to feel cold.

When I opened my eyes, the incense in front of me was only half burned.

"You can only practice for half an incense stick of time."

Lu Chen muttered to himself, feeling somewhat disappointed. Those cultivation geniuses in the cultivation novels, who didn't practice for a whole night?
And the more you practice, the happier you feel?

"It seems that I am not a genius in cultivation."

The sense of anxiety that had quietly risen up because of the energy-gathering stage also calmed down.

Pinch off the burning incense.

Then he got up and quietly returned to his room.

Not long after Lu Chen left, Zhen An opened his eyes and slowly exhaled, his expression somewhat depressed: "I still can't sense the power of Taiyin Moonlight. Could it be that I am really not suitable for it..."

……

The next day.

Before dawn, Lu Chen rushed to Qingming Cliff again.

There was no one on Qingming Cliff at this time.

Lu Chen didn't care either.

When the sky turned red, a wisp of purple cloud came from the east.

Lu Chen swallowed it into his stomach.

Purple energy rose in the Dantian, instantly turning the entire Dantian purple.

Then, another stream of golden sun energy was absorbed into Lu Chen's dantian.

The cold air caused by the lunar energy yesterday disappeared in an instant.

In the essence, the golden sun and the silvery moon stand opposite each other.

Lu Chen knew the time had come!

Start practicing the Qi Refining Method.

The two energies of Taiyin and Taiyang rotate continuously, constantly refining the essence nurtured by Lu Chen and incorporating it into the Tai Chi diagram formed by the rotation of the two energies of Yin and Yang.

Not long after, a wisp of Yin and Yang energy emerged.

Then the Yin-Yang energy continued to expand the Dantian until it was no longer able to expand, and this practice came to an end.

The essence is strong and solid, so there is no need for magic power.

You can use magical power to circulate throughout your body.

Circulate the eight extraordinary meridians, twelve regular meridians, and the five internal organs.

Lu Chen just felt refreshed.

The effect of magic power in nourishing the body is indeed almost the same as the recorded "nourishing the body and concentrating the essence without draining it, polishing the true destiny of life".

After this stage, Essence will no longer appear.

When it appears, it will be swallowed up by the yin and yang magic power.

As long as you refine the essence every day, and cultivate the energy every day, your yin and yang power will continue to grow. "That's how you practice, that's right."

Lu Chen checked the method again and felt relieved when he saw that there were no mistakes in his practice.

To be honest, when he first started practicing, Lu Chen was still a little hesitant.

Worrying that my practice is not effective enough.

But after this period of practice, I feel that practice is just like this.

no big deal.

Lu Chen, who had been unable to sleep because of all the ancient books in the collection, finally felt relieved.

"Brother Zhen'an mentioned the so-called 100-day foundation-building process. Does this count as the beginning of my foundation-building process?"

Lu Chen was still somewhat confused about the idea of ​​building a foundation in a hundred days.

He also wanted to find an opportunity to ask about it these two days.

It’s just that Senior Brother Zhenan has been a little absent-minded these past two days, so it’s not convenient to disturb him too much.

"If it doesn't work, go ask Senior Brother Huizhi."

Lu Chen thought.

It’s just that in the past few days, Brother Huizhi has also gained the true Dharma by listening to the Master’s teachings.

On weekdays in the practice hall, he would sometimes be absorbed in studying the various schools of thought, and Lu Chen could not bear to disturb him.

……

On the other side, Zhenan came out of meditation.

The bitterness on his face was very strong: "I still can't find the true method of practicing Qi."

Although he had successfully established his foundation and obtained a wisp of essence, this essence was lifeless and no Qi could appear at all.

There has been no progress at all these days.

Not to mention the growth of essence, if this continues, the essence may shrink back into the kidney water.

His attempts to sense the Taiyin Qi were fruitless, and his Qi training methods increased, which made him feel a little headache and lost.

Zhen'an looked uncertain, but finally he gritted his teeth and stood up and walked towards Senior Brother Guangming's room.

When he got outside the room, he lost most of his courage.

But now it was already the final step, and his cultivation had not improved for many days, so he did not want to back down.

He stretched out his hand and prepared to knock on the door.

But his hand had just been raised.

With a creaky sound, the red door opened, and Senior Brother Guangming, with white hair and beard, was looking at him indifferently.

Zhenan immediately performed the greetings as a peer: "Greetings, Senior Brother Guangming."

"Junior brother, are you worried that you can't make progress?"

Guangming revealed Zhen'an's origin in one sentence.

The latter smiled bitterly and nodded, "Senior brother has a keen eye."

Guangming said: "I have never practiced eye-related magic, but most of those who come to find me are like my junior brothers."

Zhen'an then realized that not only he, but other fellow disciples had also come to look for Guangming, and the embarrassment in his heart also quietly dissipated by a little.

"Does senior brother have any good ideas?" Zhen'an felt a little hopeful.

Guangming shook his head: "Practice in the lower three realms, enter the Tao and build the foundation, practice Qi in the Purple Palace, and the dragon and tiger meet. It all depends on yourself, step by step. I do have a word for you, Junior Brother. Build the foundation for a hundred days to gain essence, refine the essence into Qi to gain magic power, harmonize yin and yang to gain destiny, and the purple air from the east will give birth to dragons and tigers."

"Junior brother, you are stuck at the stage of refining essence into qi. You are too impatient, which is not conducive to your practice. You should clear your mind and meditate to get rid of the inner demons."

Zhenan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These words have been seen in those ancient books no less than eighty times.

If you have figured it out yourself, why would you come and ask your senior brother?

But he still bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother."

It would be great if you could give me some advice.

After all, who among the disciples in the sect is not trying hard to find the truth?
If your own practice is not enough, how can you teach others?

That is to say, it is someone like Senior Brother Huizhi, who practices the ways of all schools of thought, takes an unconventional approach with his sword skills, and only inherits his true qi. He thinks that only those who enter the Tao through martial arts will have time to teach others to write and practice calligraphy, right?
